In this seventh episode of Foretold, we explore the powerful biblical connection between Jonah’s three days in the belly of the great fish and Jesus’ burial before His glorious Resurrection. From the central nave of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, we examine how this Old Testament event was directly invoked by Christ as a prophetic sign of His Passion, Death, and triumph over the grave.
Rooted in Scripture and Catholic theology, we uncover the depths of God’s Providence—how no one is beyond His reach, not Jonah, not the Ninevites, and not us. Just as Jonah’s mission extended beyond Israel to the Gentiles, so too does Christ’s Resurrection open salvation to all nations, even those 2000 years after him.
Join us as we delve into the profound meaning of the “sign of Jonah” and the universal call to repentance, faith, and mission in the Risen Christ.
